Some birds fly south
Some birds stay at home
Some birds flock together
Some birds fly alone
There's been red headed, blond feathered, long legged birds I've come to know
And some have flown
Then there's those hell of a time birds
And just for tonight birds
Bring em' pretty flowers and payed for by the hour
No I'm not one for praying but there's one bird I'm waiting on
She's a strange bird
Strange bird
Somewhere up higher
She's singing on a wire for me
Yes I've even hummed along
Played the field and even played the fool
Oh but somewhere all alone there's a bird that sings my song
She's wild and lonesome and blue
She's a strange bird
Strange bird
Somewhere up higher
She's singing on a wire for me
And she sings
She's a strange bird
Strange bird
Somewhere up higher
She's singing like a choir
Pretty on a wire for me
